Heart transplantation in survivors of childhood cancer.
Review in Translational pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
There are approximately 450,000 survivors of childhood cancer due, in large part, to successes of therapeutic regimens. With this success comes an increase in the number of patients developing cardiotoxicity as a result of cancer therapies. In certain cases, this includes heart failure recalcitrant to medical therapy, and consideration for heart transplantation may be necessary. However, this group of patients has unique comorbidities that may affect outcomes. Despite this, available data show that complications and overall survival are similar for patients transplanted for anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy compared to those with other cardiomyopathies, demonstrating that this is a viable treatment option for this population. As other cancer therapies become more common, new cardiovascular toxicities are recognized. Whether heart transplantation will be appropriate for all patients with cancer-therapy related cardiotoxicity (CTRC) will require demonstration of similarly good outcomes to ensure proper allocation of organs.
